where is the bulk season??? That very low mass for one year production because u never bulked up. It should be bulk up (more mass, more strength, more muscle) and then cut (less fat, less strength, more lookin good than just a whole year dieting and low calories...)
Summarised Tips: - Do not be put off the gym; go with a friend - Workout until you cannot do more reps (muscle hypertrophy) - Always do bench presses with friends - More reps does not require more muscle, do a slower rep overall to increase muscle contraction time - Follow a timed workout for abs - Run if you can, reduces stress - Eat out of a bowl instead of a plate - Alcohol isn't great for exercise.... - Look for foods high in satiety index - Drink tea to fill you up
His last message is so true. I hope there are no major issues with your mental health Chris. You’re a very influential person in my life and I’m sure the same goes for many other people. Keep your head up because you’ll always have people who love you ❤️❤️
@@DigiiFox nah man just be comfortable in your own skin, it's a good pants but people who genuinely try to devalue you cause you short usually mad insecure themselves lol
Chris I just wanna say that I have watched this video about 25 times (sad I know) but it has helped me become more comfortable in my body and now I go to the gym 4 days a week and couldn't be happier with how I look, you are an absolute legend and hopefully one day I could get to meet you in person. Stay awesome bro (keep us laughing)
This video is the main reason why i decided to start properly weightlifting. It helped me so much in organising my workouts, my diet, how to stay motivated. You're such an inspiration Chris! Seeing your before and after pics made me realise i want some before and after pics as well
Mental health comment at the end was so important. Fantastic to hear that's your next goal. Well done for all the work mate and being an inspiration to so many people
Great video. However there were a couple of inaccuracies. First of all, you should NOT train to failure on every set. Training to failure greatly taxes your nervous system and increased recovery time. There may be a few sets within the workout where you want to push to failure but as a general rule of thumb you want to stay around 1-2 reps away from failure on most of your sets. Secondly, muscle “Toning” doesn’t actually exist. You can increase the size of the muscle and you can decrease your overall body fat but you can’t “tone” a muscle. Anyways, good progress.
I second this. I would say though that a beginner training to failure probably doesn't matter too much but yes once lifts start going up and taxing the CNS more you definitely don't want to go to failure every set.
@@agentzer081 A common setup would be 5x5 on your main lifts (Bench, Squat, OHP). Overwise it's 3/4 sets of 3-5 reps for strength training and 4-5 sets with 8-12 reps for hypertrophy. Take in mind different people will respond differently to training and it's best to find what works best for you.
Its like saying "im sure theres a mountain taller than everest" without climbing everest itself for comparison, you're just saying it cause you never intend to better yourself physically, and you had to make it convenient for you
Here is some valuable info for gym exercise. -most importantly, the 1rm (1 rep max) is how much you can lift for one rep. you use a percentage of this weight to exercise for different results. 90-95%: Strength (4-6 reps) 85%: Mass (8 reps) 70% Toning (10 reps) 60%: Endurance (12+ reps) all credit goes to the american school system.
Thank you so much Chris! You have inspired me to push my self! You have been one of my favourite you tubers and I have been here since 10k love you man keep up the good work
Congrats on the transformation man. That helps me stay motivated. I'm currently documenting my entire cut on my channel and I need the motivation right now lol

You are ridiculously informative while allowing us to share in your raw humor. Thank You For Brightening My Day. Think about comedic writing!
@@darrgrady9460 firstly, a lot of Chris's wit goes over some people's heads, I just commented in case other people didn't think about it and missed the joke. and there are people who did miss it(those who liked it). And secondly why do u give a shit? get on with your life man, I'm guilty too have a good day haha
Training to failure on every exercise of your workout is actually not beneficial for muscle hypertrophy, good video. I just wished it was a bit more checked on facts. When gaining muscle, progressive overload and total volume are most important. Going to failure lowers your total volume capability. Doing more quality reps with each set leaving 1-2 reps left in the tank is a much more effective and quality way to train, going to failure every so often on your last exercise for a muscle group of the day can be beneficial but only then.
Kieran Whitton-Booth i totally agree but to hit hypertrophy once or twice a week doesn’t hurt your muscles. It’s a way to pump more blood into (for example) the bicep, which then makes it bigger for a certain amount of time which will then stimulate the muscle growth
IB7GAMING yes and I don’t agree with that lol, that was my entire point. Leaving a rep in the tank allows more quality total volume. For anyone interested Dr. Eric Helms does amazing research in this field and Jeff Nippard has fantastic clear scientific muscle building videos.
@@kieranwhitton-booth5354 Yeah your right, little bit disappointed with this video as something like this needs to be researched a lot. What he didn't mention which is probably one of the most important things for Hypertrophy is the eccentric movement (downward). Your muscles only grow through tearing and repairing bigger and stronger. And you only tear them by extending under pressure. Athlean x is probably the best and most reputable channel on youtube, i would recommend just rinsing his videos for advice.
dont overcomplicate it mate. the small shit doenst matter dont overcomplicate it. 1- 1g of protein per lb of body weight. 2- track your cals, (surplus=bulk, deficit= cut . 3- progressive overload with focus on compound lift. This is literally all you ever need to know about fitness in one paragraph. Never watch another video again.
I used to watch Chris a lot when I was younger and had kinda forgot about him but I clicked on this video as I am trying to get in shape and I have just remembered that Chris is one of the funniest nicest most relatable TH-camr and I have really learnt a lot from this vid great work. “10 minuets extra if I , doesn’t matter what I did” haha
As someone who's also not an expert, but has been studying experts closely for quite some time, and also spending most of my free time in the gym, I have some comments. First of all, great job on the transformation! It's always motivating as fuck to see results. Second, this is purely for discussion and constructive criticism purposes. I do not mean to be offensive or pretend that I know everything about lifting. Obviously, if this is what works for you, go for it. There just might be a safer or more efficient way of going about it. It's a long read, be warned... 1. On your first point you mention failure training each exercise to increase hypertrophy. This is correct, to a certain extent. While it is great to push yourself, training to failure drastically increases muscle fatigue. This makes it so that you are capable of doing less reps next set, which can drastically decrease your total volume for each training session. Athlean-X, a well known and trusted trainer, reccomends training to failure the last set of your last 1-2 exercises per session. On the remaining sets you leave about 1 or 2 reps in the tank for each set and exercise. This decreases muscle hypertrophy, and by increasing total number of reps, also increases time under tension, which is one of the key mechanics of hypertrophy. 2. You mention 1-12 reps for optimal hypertrophy. I'm not sure where you got this from, but as 2-5 for raw strenght, 6-10 (littledebated whether it's 10 or 12) for hypertrophy, and above that for muscular endurance. Below 6 reps per exercise (assuming that you're not some weirdo doing like 8 sets of 2 reps) doesn't add quite as much to your size as reps above the 6 rep mark. The usual golden rule for sets*reps is 3*8 for hypertrophy. 3. When doing your dips, there really isn't any benefit to going below the point where your elbows are at 90 degrees. Again, Athlean-x has a great video on dips called "Are you doing dips properly? (AVOID MISTAKES)", where he explains this much better than I can. Going below 90 degrees will in the long term damage your shoulder joints, as the socket isn't built for heavy loads at that great of an angle. Your chest muscles and triceps also don't really see much more of a strech below that point, atleast to where it outweighs the impingement risk. 4. On muscle "tone" or definition, as I assume you're talking about. I may be misunderstanding you, but having defined muscles really just boils down to being 1. Low bodyfat %, and 2. Having "large" muscles. This is basically just diet and time. You're not going to look good as low bodyfat % if you don't have any muscles "to define", and you're not gonna be very defined if you're really muscular but you hide it under 30% bodyfat. Again, I might be misunderstanding you here, idk. I really enjoyed the video though! It's really motivational! Again, don't mean to say that I know everything or be offensive, but these are all pretty basic google searches, so hopefully that shouldn't be an issue. Good job if you read the whole thing!
I’ve actually started to go to the gym after watching this video and realise that it doesn’t matter what your body look like or if you don’t know how to do it as long you want to get your body the way u want it you will feel great

Hello 2 years from the future 🫡😂
Summarised Tips:
- Do not be put off the gym; go with a friend
- Workout until you cannot do more reps (muscle hypertrophy)
- Always do bench presses with friends
- More reps does not require more muscle, do a slower rep overall to increase muscle contraction time
- Follow a timed workout for abs
- Run if you can, reduces stress
- Eat out of a bowl instead of a plate
- Alcohol isn't great for exercise....
- Look for foods high in satiety index
- Drink tea to fill you up

I'm not sure where you got this from, but as 2-5 for raw strenght, 6-10 (littledebated whether it's 10 or 12) for hypertrophy, and above that for muscular endurance. Below 6 reps per exercise (assuming that you're not some weirdo doing like 8 sets of 2 reps) doesn't add quite as much to your size as reps above the 6 rep mark. The usual golden rule for sets*reps is 3*8 for hypertrophy.
3. When doing your dips, there really isn't any benefit to going below the point where your elbows are at 90 degrees. Again, Athlean-x has a great video on dips called "Are you doing dips properly? (AVOID MISTAKES)", where he explains this much better than I can. Going below 90 degrees will in the long term damage your shoulder joints, as the socket isn't built for heavy loads at that great of an angle. Your chest muscles and triceps also don't really see much more of a strech below that point, atleast to where it outweighs the impingement risk.
4. On muscle "tone" or definition, as I assume you're talking about. I may be misunderstanding you, but having defined muscles really just boils down to being 1. Low bodyfat %, and 2. Having "large" muscles. This is basically just diet and time. You're not going to look good as low bodyfat % if you don't have any muscles "to define", and you're not gonna be very defined if you're really muscular but you hide it under 30% bodyfat. Again, I might be misunderstanding you here, idk.
I really enjoyed the video though! It's really motivational!
Again, don't mean to say that I know everything or be offensive, but these are all pretty basic google searches, so hopefully that shouldn't be an issue.
Good job if you read the whole thing!
I’ve actually started to go to the gym after watching this video and realise that it doesn’t matter what your body look like or if you don’t know how to do it as long you want to get your body the way u want it you will feel great
